Hi there
I suppose im just hoping (optimistically) for some reassurance...?
My 4 year old daughter split her forehead open at preschool back in December. I took her to a and e when a nurse practitioner glued it bk together, said to leave the buterfky stitches on for 3-4 days and that it wouldn't scar.
I left stitches on on for over a week. Anyway, 4 months on and it definitely has scarred, bless her. And its riht in the middle of her forehead. The scar is also quite wide and not in a neat line its like its spread open. Its still quite red and noticeable.
I just wonder if anyone else has had this with their little ones and can reassure me that it will fade and lighten in time. As at the moment Im just wishing id insisted on it being stitched by a doctor!
One guilt ridden mother.
Thanks.
